I will be also building a lot of airport work up and private clients wink wink nod nod !!!!

You do know that that is illegal don't you? If you don't have your own operators license you can't accept a booking unless you are a Hackney. Don't they tell you this on your course?


Does "one" not think that for one minute that 2000 + other drivers have NOT thought of such an elaborate wheeze? There will be drivers out there that are as bright as a button when it comes to taxiing. If there are any angles.....then they are already covered.

As a driver you will make a living. If you think that you can do better and that to start off you do not mind working 100 + hours a week, then as mentioned get an "Operators" license.

You got me bang to rights on that one! However in doing so, as an independent Hack I am not carving up any colleagues by doing them out of work. Oh I am also legally entitled to do all of the above.

With the traits and cockiness that you have come on here with - you are going to come a cropper.

Most of us can legally do all of the above because we drive Hackney vehicles. I doubt that you will last long at Delta or any other Private Hire firm before you are sussed and dealt with by the firms.

That extra unbooked job could be a police sting or a Licensing officer after a prosecution, if you have no PH Ops licence you are likely to last about a week.......do you not think that the Hacks around you might not think to grass you up?, you can be legal with your "mates" work simply by telling your base to take the booking and send it to you

BTW, on New Years eve you shouldnt have any spare capacity to do that extra (illegal) flag down, if you have maybe you should change bases

Am not going to be looking for illegal work , am talking about the jobs you build up with reputation.and yes it's not insured but if they are friends and not paying they are insured. And am very polite , happy , with a really nice car , top of the range , well cleaned and will get a really good reputation very quick and make the company look good . Done a few things in life and I always get to the top .some People hate my confidence but it's the reason am living a good life today . But am willing to listen and learn off guys with more experience than me .

Further proof for Trostky (as if he needs any) that entry into the trade requires an I.Q. roughly the same as the guys hat size...

oh hang on, is he a CT service?

Not many of us that have or do, spread the word on the world wide web.

However you can always get a ph operators license and do it legally.
